Chapter 24 A Back
Watching the male protagonist drink it, 1551 was so nervous that he walked around everywhere.
He focused his eyes on the male protagonist's face, and the facial features that seemed to be created by God could not impress him at all.
1551Worried that something might happen to him.
The hand was about to press the button to call an ambulance, but stopped when she noticed that there was nothing unusual on the man's face.
1551 muttered doubtfully: [It didn't work? Isn't it an S-rank item?]
This world is also S-level, so even if it is weakened, it will not be completely ineffective.
Unless the level of this world has already exceeded S level.
He had never heard of the existence of such a world.
I'm getting suspicious.
Gu Chenzhou leaned back silently, and his originally tall figure reduced the sense of oppression.
Now is not the time for the little system to discover that it is different from others.
What's more... he was very interested in the entity just mentioned.
Gu Chenzhou frowned slightly, and his face showed some discomfort.
His acting skills aren't that great, but they're good enough to fool a fool.
1551 blinked, feeling a little strange.
The office was quiet, without any chattering sounds.
Still smarter than I thought.
Gu Chenzhou suppressed the smile that was about to appear in his dark eyes and took out his cell phone to contact his family doctor.
Upon hearing that the male protagonist had consulted a doctor because of his physical discomfort, 1551 finally dispelled his doubts and completely believed that the male protagonist was really unwell.
He listened carefully to the male protagonist's description of his physical discomfort, and the more he listened, the more familiar it sounded.
Isn't this just a human cold?
1551 suddenly realized and murmured doubtfully: [This medicine gave the hero a cold? ]
It seems that S-level items are not as magical as the legend says.
As soon as he heard that it was a cold, 1551 relaxed and the cat tail behind him began to swing freely.
A heartless little fellow.
Gu Chenzhou raised his eyebrows slightly and hung up after listening to what the doctor said.
Of course, he made up the story about being unwell.
Because of his good physical condition, he has hardly ever been sick since he was a child. The only specific illness he can name is the cold.
Fortunately, the small system was easy to fool and had no idea that he was just "sick".
1551 is not a human being, so he doesn't know that a cold is a disease that can make you feel fine one second and so uncomfortable the next.
He just watched the male protagonist put down the phone, with an uncomfortable expression on his face, but he continued to write with his pen in his hand.
So 1551, who originally thought it was just a minor problem, couldn't help but start to worry again.
"Why don't you take a break?"
1551 I looked closely at the male protagonist filling out the documents and found that the content was very familiar - Tianhe.
Isn’t this the project that the host mentioned to the group of people under Zhou Qin before?
I didn't expect it to be so important. The male protagonist had to deal with this matter even when he was sick.
If the host really messes up, the male protagonist's company will face huge financial risks.
1551 For a moment, he wanted to speak out to remind him, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he remembered that his words would not be conveyed to Gu Chenzhou, so he gave up again.
He watched Gu Chenzhou sign the document and put it into the sealed file.
The worried gaze from the small system was too obvious. Gu Chenzhou had originally planned to handle official business for a while longer, but now he changed his mind.
The man pretended to be unwell and stood up. He walked to the small lounge on the other side of the office, where there was a bed specially provided for lunch break.
Because this small lounge is rarely used, this was the first time that 1551 entered this small room.
But now he was not in the mood to look around, his eyes were only on the male protagonist.
Gu Chenzhou was lying on the bed. His tall figure seemed a little crowded on the bed which was only two meters long.
1551Reading the information: [Colds can make people sleepy.]
Looking at the male protagonist's expression, he nodded more firmly.
He must be feeling very uncomfortable.
Since becoming a system, he has never been sick again.
A few seconds after this thought came to mind, 1551 was suddenly stunned.
Why did he have such an idea?
Ever since he became... it was obvious that he had been a system since he became conscious, a system created by the Lord God.
Of course I won’t catch a cold.
The mechanical cat ears trembled uneasily, and through a slightly reflective spot in the small room, 1551 saw his current appearance.
The cat ears on his head, which have a sense of technology but also a bit of cuteness, always remind him of the difference between him and humans.
1551 suppressed her suddenly restless heartbeat and then looked at the male protagonist again.
Gu Chenzhou's breathing rate had slowed down considerably, and 1551 had no doubt that he had fallen asleep.
Then now is the best time to show up and help.
But when 1551 thought about appearing in this world with his real body, he became so nervous that he almost broke out in a sweat.
Even though he doesn't sweat.
1551 reached out and wiped his forehead, and sure enough, there was nothing.
This action seems stupid and clumsy, but fortunately no one will notice.
He blinked nervously again and whispered to himself, "It's okay, the male lead is already asleep, he won't find me."
The information just mentioned also shows that when humans have a cold, it affects their body functions and they will feel more drowsy than usual after falling asleep.
The male protagonist seemed to be sleeping soundly, so as long as he kept the noise down, he would not be discovered.
If I were discovered, would my fate be the same as those ninety-nine systems?
1551 couldn't help but shiver, but when he saw Gu Chenzhou lying unconscious on the bed, he couldn't bear it.
It's just a brief appearance, so it shouldn't be a problem.
1551 gritted his teeth and submitted an application to the Lord God.
He originally thought that the Lord God, who was so busy, would not immediately see the news of his small novice system. What 1551 did not expect was that the application he had just sent out appeared in the surface world the next second.
1551 suddenly opened his eyes wide, and his round cat-like eyes seemed even easier to bully, just like a deer that accidentally strayed into a city of steel and concrete.
The eyes are so clean without any impurities.
Almost thinking that he was still that round ball, 1551 touched his face uncomfortably.
Familiar touch, soft.
"I can really appear in the surface world without any support."
After saying this, 1551 covered his mouth in fear.
He looked at the person on the bed cautiously, and found that he still hadn't woken him up, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
1551 was holding a packet of cold medicine in his hand, which he got in exchange for the points he borrowed from 999 before submitting his application.
He looked around and suddenly had a bold idea in his mind.
1551 approached the male protagonist, half squatted at the head of the bed and looked at him, even her breathing became much lighter.
A very strange feeling came from my heart.
He was really watching him.
It is not a surveillance through the host's perspective, nor is it a surveillance that follows the host's perspective.
There was no longer a spatial barrier between them, and he was truly in contact with the humans of the surface world.
Gu Chenzhou was the first human being he came into contact with.
"Hello, I'm 1551."
I don’t know how long it was before a soft sound came from the lounge.
In a place that 1551 couldn't see, the muscles on Gu Chenzhou's arms tightened a little.
He could hardly restrain the urge to open his eyes.
In their inner world that neither of them could see, the two people cautiously tried to reach out to each other.
But no one dared to open Pandora's box.
After 1551 finished speaking, it felt as if they had really become friends in an instant.
Then he became a little braver, reached out his hand and placed it on Gu Chenzhou's forehead very carefully.
"It's not hot..."
After realizing what he had done, 1551 stood up suddenly, and kept pinching the packet of cold medicine with his pinkish-white fingertips.
He fluttered his raven-feather eyelashes, curled his fingers, and stammered, "You need to soak the medicine in hot water first."
The packet of cold medicine changed into various shapes in his hands.
1551The little face is red.
He successfully found a drinking hole in the lounge where he could get hot water. Just as he was about to bend down to find a cup in the cabinet, he suddenly heard some rustling sounds at the door.
1551:!
The already nervous little system was so frightened that it immediately stopped what it was doing.
Like a little hamster that was discovered while moving things, it stood there with its eyes wide open, not daring to move.
Unfortunately, the strange noise did not go away as he expected, but instead became louder and louder.
1551 could hear someone opening the office door and pacing slowly outside.
Maybe he was wondering why there was no one inside.
1551 was too nervous to notice how suspicious the visitor was that he kept silent on purpose.
The man seemed certain that there was someone in the office, so after walking around, he locked onto this somewhat hidden lounge.
Hearing that the footsteps were indeed coming here, 1551 didn't dare to stay there any longer. He quickly opened the system panel and clicked the emergency escape button newly added by the Lord God.
In another blink of an eye, after a flash of white light, he returned to his own system space.
1551 looked down at the cold medicine in his hand, and ripples appeared in his eyes.
It hasn’t been used on the male lead yet.
He looked up at the screen and found that the man had indeed come in.
He looked up and saw a face that was very familiar to him.
【Host! ? 】
Su He, who already felt guilty, was frightened: [Shut up! ]
1551, who had been bullied for no reason, no longer felt aggrieved as before. He wanted to know more about the reason why Su He appeared here.
【Host, why are you here? 】
Su He was impatient: [Of course I came to see the male lead. ]
Didn't you send me to monitor?
1551 looked at the host who was tiptoeing around, and knew that his purpose was definitely not just to test the efficacy of the medicine.
Looking at the man with his eyes closed on the bed, Su He's heart beat faster for a moment.
I have to admit that Gu Chenzhou's face is completely in line with his aesthetic taste. When he closes his eyes, people can't help but be intoxicated by his handsomeness.
But once you wake up, those black eyes look at you as if to freeze you to death.
Su He licked his lower lip: [Did he fall asleep after drinking coffee? ]
He stood casually, obviously knowing that there was no surveillance here, and had dropped his perfect disguise.
【Yes. 】
A gleam flashed in Su He's eyes: [Could he be unconscious? ]
Not only did he not feel scared, but he felt even happier.
If the male protagonist really fainted, you could take this opportunity to steal the documents.
Although Su He didn't say anything, 1551 understood what he meant in just a moment.
There were some buzzing sounds in the brain repeatedly. 1551 did not expect that the host would really continue to connect with the villains and frame the male protagonist's company.
Giving the medicine is just the first step.
Whatever the reason is, it is not a reason for them to deliberately create suffering for the protagonist.
1551 didn't realize that he had said this in his heart, and his mechanical cat ears tilted back, looking a little "irritated".
He had prepared himself to be scolded, but Su He didn't say anything. He just stood there as if frozen, staring blankly ahead.
Following his line of sight, 1551 met a pair of eyes that seemed to be frozen in time.
Gu Chenzhou woke up.
Being stared at like this by the man who "slowly woke up", Su He felt that he could hardly breathe, as if he was being stared at by a terrifying giant beast, with a pair of hands clenching his heart as if it could crush it at any time.
The chill spread to every inch of his flesh as he gazed at him.
He was like a piece of fish thrown onto a chopping board. For a moment, he thought all the dirty thoughts in his heart were exposed.
But how is that possible?
Su He didn't know how much effort it took before he finally squeezed out a trembling voice from his throat: "Mr. Gu, I'm sorry to disturb your rest. I have a meeting this afternoon and I want to talk to you..."
He prepared this excuse just in case, but unfortunately it didn't work.
"Get out." Gu Chenzhou looked at him coldly.
The oppressive feeling from the protagonist of the S-class world poured down without reservation.
Su He's face turned pale in embarrassment.
He looked at Gu Chenzhou in disbelief, whose eyes were filled with hostility, and did not find any trace of the drug's effects on him.
He must be holding on.
Su He didn't even know how he got out.
All I knew was that his hands and feet were cold, and when he was standing outside the office, he almost collapsed to the ground.
Tianhe’s documents… He hasn’t stolen Tianhe’s documents yet!
Su He's face looked extremely ugly.
The time agreed with that group of people is only one week, and that group of troublemakers will not let him go.
Just as Su He was biting his fingers like a psychopath with anxiety, he suddenly saw Assistant Chen passing by out of the corner of his eye.
He rushed over as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, with a hypocritical but extremely beautiful smile on his face: "Special Assistant Chen!"
The man stopped, his gold-rimmed glasses shimmering with a cold luster. "What's wrong?"
He still had work to report today that he hadn't finished. If it were someone else, he wouldn't have stopped.
But he was stopped by Su He's call of "Special Assistant Chen".
The smile on Su He's face brightened a little, and his voice became a little sweeter than usual.
He knew that there was no dead end in front of him.
…
After Su He left, the lounge became quiet again, with no sound at all.
Gu Chenzhou lowered his eyes and glanced at the cabinet door that was hastily closed without leaving a trace.
He hadn't opened his eyes just now, and only heard a slight rustling sound and the sound of a system rummaging clumsily.
Is he trying to make some medicine for himself?
There were no points before, so where did the medicine come from?
And he's not talking now, probably because he was scared by himself just now.
Su He...as expected, he had to put dealing with him on the agenda.
Gu Chenzhou frowned, and his expression looked even colder than usual.
He regretted it.
He wants to see 1551.
I should have opened my eyes just now, even if it was just for a quick look.
And the frightened 1551 he imagined was looking at his system panel with pain.
In the newly added function above, the countdown is only twenty minutes.
He couldn't believe that he had just wasted ten minutes.
The Lord God only allows him to connect to the outer world for half an hour a day.
And he didn't even make cold medicine for the male protagonist.
He looked at Gu Chenzhou quietly and apologetically.
But he didn't know that the other party thought he was scared, so he remained silent.
1551 knew that he should return to Su He now. He had never disobeyed his host's orders in the past, even if he felt uneasy inside.
But now, looking at the male protagonist who became sick after being hit by the prop, he decided to do a small act of rebellion.
1551 pretended not to understand the signal in Su He’s last look, and continued to follow Gu Chenzhou with the camera on.
Be prepared to observe his physical condition at any time.
The ignorant little system didn't know that the S-level deadly props could not be used on Gu Chenzhou at all, and even the cold was a disguise to coax him out.
But when he saw Gu Chenzhou leave the lounge and go to handle the remaining business as usual, 1551 subconsciously felt that he was just holding on.
[As expected of the male lead, he continues to work even when he is sick. ]
Listening to the genuine praise and admiration for the small system coming from his mind, Gu Chenzhou paused while writing, and soon continued signing with a normal expression.
Perhaps only he himself knew that in that brief moment, the corners of his lips curled up.
The office returned to its original tranquility.
The strange atmosphere brought about by Su He's interruption seemed to have never appeared.
1551 was still in her own little space, hugging a soft and comfortable pillow and watching Gu Chenzhou work.
Occasionally he tilted his head and spoke to himself.
Even though he knew Gu Chenzhou couldn't hear him, he still felt a sense of relief after pouring his heart out.
It was as if they were staying together like this, and he was no longer the only system trapped in this small space endlessly.
There was even a moment when 1551 wondered if he would be more respected if he were Gu Chenzhou's system.
At least not treated as an auxiliary or a vassal.
Such an idea was so far-fetched that he just smiled in his heart and disappeared without a trace like a gust of wind.
…
Today, Gu Chenzhou got off work much earlier than usual, which was actually considered early for him.
He left after the meeting.
After someone noticed this, it immediately spread among the executives in a small circle.
Those who had initially guessed that Mr. Gu might be in a relationship suddenly became more certain of their thoughts.
After all, Gu Chenzhou's time trajectory was too accurate before. Apart from a new relationship, they couldn't imagine what kind of thing would make the originally rigid boss change his working hours.
They were not the only ones confused, 1551 was equally puzzled.
As a diligent system who puts most of his attention on the male protagonist, he certainly remembers Gu Chenzhou's after-get off work habits.
This was several hours ahead of schedule.
Others didn't dare to ask, but 1551 didn't have that scruple. He muttered, "Why did you leave work early?"
A hint of smile appeared in Gu Chenzhou's eyes, and his originally stern face became much softer at this moment.
But he couldn't possibly answer 1551's question.
That would definitely scare him, just like a child who always talks to his doll and doesn't expect a response. If the doll suddenly opens its mouth to speak one day, the child will definitely cry.
After spending some time together, Gu Chenzhou had a deeper understanding of 1551's courage, which was not much bigger than a soybean.
1551 was completely unaware that he was being treated like a child. At first, he thought the male lead was leaving get off work early because he was not feeling well.
But when he saw that Gu Chenzhou was not driving along the route home, he panicked again.
Should I go to the hospital? Is my cold getting worse?
Maybe the S-level item has a lag effect. He suddenly felt an unbearable pain and had to go to the hospital.
1551 opened the navigation and found that they had just passed the nearest Grade A hospital.
After being stunned for a while, 1551 saw Gu Chenzhou park the car in front of a store decorated entirely in cream yellow, and the unique aroma of cream came from it.
The shop is surrounded by this charming fragrance, which can be smelled as soon as you step into the shop.
The intoxicated sound of sniffing without any disguise comes to your mind, making you feel as if you can imagine a cute and naive puppy wagging its tail and jumping over to grab your legs, with its soft and round body sticking to you and begging for food.
Gu Chenzhou finally stopped hiding the smile on his lips and chuckled openly.
1551 didn't notice that his attention was completely attracted by the fragrance.
This is actually a bakery!
The male protagonist came to the bakery to buy things.
He realized this belatedly, and the beautiful cat's eyes twinkled. Even just feeling the soft and sweet atmosphere of the bakery made him feel particularly relaxed.
You have to know that the last world he experienced was the end of the world, and the air was filled with the smell of blood. After coming to this world, Su He never liked this kind of sweet shop. He didn't even touch milk tea, and it was impossible for him to bring 1551 to such a place.
1551When following Su He, the most common thing he saw was him eating light meals. He rarely even smelled the normal fragrance of food.
This is really cruel for a small system that has stolen the delicacies of this world.
1551 turned his head curiously, looking at the neatly displayed snacks in the window, and sighed with envy: "This chocolate croissant looks delicious... and so does that tiramisu!"
He said several names in a row with eager eyes, and his mechanical cat ears twitched a few times, feeling a little satisfied.
It seems that seeing it is eating it.
The clerk rarely saw a tall, handsome and mature man coming to buy desserts, and he exuded an extraordinary aura from head to toe. She immediately wanted to go up and recommend some of the store's signature dishes.
"No need." Gu Chenzhou stretched out his hand and pointed at the air, accurately calling out a few names, "Just one of each of these will be fine."
The clerk didn't expect the other party to make up his mind so quickly. After a moment of hesitation, he thought of the doting smile on the man's face before he entered the store, and suddenly he understood.
The clerk smiled and went to pack up the food. He couldn't help but gossip, "You bought it for your partner, right? But can you finish all the food you bought?"
Gu Chenzhou didn't explain, but watched her packing calmly.
The clerk thought he had guessed right and very considerately changed the wrapping paper to pink.
1551 leaned over to take a closer look and blinked in surprise: "What a coincidence."
The dishes that Gu Chenzhou asked people to pack were actually the ones he had just read out, and they were also the ones he craved the most.
Until Gu Chenzhou left the bakery carrying so many desserts, he still thought it was just a happy coincidence.
It just so happens that they like the same things.
Just when 1551 thought Gu Chenzhou should go back, he drove to the next location.
This time he was no longer so surprised, and quietly followed the male protagonist into an antique shop.
Gu Chenzhou stood in the store and waited for a while, just like he did before.
The small system did not sound any curious voice in his mind.
It seems that he doesn't like these little gadgets.
Gu Chenzhou left the store expressionlessly without even looking at it.
They went to several more stores. When 1551 was interested in something, Gu Chenzhou would pretend to choose it and then buy it.
If 1551 didn't make any sound, he knew the little guy was not interested.
In the end, they returned home with so many bags that the trunk of their car was filled to the brim.
In addition to the food, there are more interesting little gadgets.
1551The things I like are not actually specific.
There are fluffy kitten dolls, potted plants with beautiful little flowers, and even a straw grasshopper bought from a handicraft shop.
Gu Chenzhou bought them all.
In order not to appear too contrived, he casually bought some other things and simply threw them in the trunk without even bothering to ask anyone to take them in.
It's obvious that he is too partial to me.
Only 1551 was too stupid to notice.
After putting all those things in the room, Gu Chenzhou was like an experienced hunter setting a trap. He was not in a hurry to trick 1551 into appearing, but went to take a shower first.
The perspective of 1551, which was blocked by the baby lock, was automatically blocked, and 1551 could only look at the things that Gu Chenzhou placed on the table out of boredom.
These things are really tempting to him.
1551 really wanted to touch the kitten doll to see if it was as soft as it looked to the naked eye.
Or look at something else.
When he lowered his head and saw that he only had twenty minutes of main body time left, all these expectations turned into disappointment.
He continued to watch eagerly, pulling at his mechanical cat's tail.
Through the bathroom glass, Gu Chenzhou turned off the shower at some point. Without the interference of the sound of water, he could perceive more clearly what was happening in the room.
Unfortunately, there was no sound from outside, and the things he bought did not seem to cause 1551 to appear.
Why?
There was doubt in Gu Chenzhou's dark eyes.
The man frowned slightly, and his wet hair made him look less aggressive.
He didn't know why 1551 was no longer willing to appear in its true form.
Is there a limit?
The regret in Gu Chenzhou's heart grew little by little, as if there was a hole in his heart.
He didn't stay for too long. After making sure that 1551 would not show up, he pretended to have just come out of the shower.
While wiping the dripping hair, he casually glanced at the table piled with things.
It was confirmed that 1551 did not appear because those things did not move.
It is harder to appear than the elves in fairy tales.
1551 I don’t know that my image in Gu Chenzhou’s mind has changed from a little bird that flies around everywhere to a little elf that is unwilling to appear.
Gu Chenzhou still instructed the housekeeper to throw away the desserts the next morning.
No matter whether you have eaten it or not.
This was the last trap he set for 1551.
There's a high probability that 1551 will show up and eat the food before it's thrown away.
Gu Chenzhou didn’t know what he was feeling, he just wanted to see 1551.
With your own eyes, rather than through other means such as surveillance.
As for what to do after seeing her, he hasn't figured it out yet.
This was probably the only time in his life that he took action without thinking about the purpose.
Unfortunately, until very late, Gu Chenzhou, who had specially gone to the study to make room, did not hear that 1551 was planning to appear.
The goods, either exquisitely or plainly packaged, were piled there as before. Except for 1551 who was too slow in some aspects, anyone could see that they were a pile of gifts specially prepared for someone.
1551 waited for a long time, and finally waited until Gu Chenzhou put down the book in his hand, returned to the room and went to bed to rest.
It was late at night.
The protagonist on the bed's breathing soon became steady.
"Gu Chenzhou, are you asleep?"
The voice of 1551 was heard in the room.
After he finished speaking, he felt a little embarrassed.
It's complete nonsense, no matter if the hero is asleep or not, he won't hear his voice.
To be on the safe side, 1551 waited for a while before pressing the button to connect to the watch world when the clock hand reached eleven o'clock.
With a flash of soft white light, he stood in this world again, with a hint of happy pink on his delicate face.
The countdown on the system panel started again.
1551 Not wanting to waste time, he tiptoed to the first floor to fetch water.
This ancestral home is so huge that I didn’t dare turn on the lights, so the surroundings were pitch black.
Turning on the light would bring too many unpredictable risks, so he could only do his work in the dark, and finally found the kitchen after stumbling and struggling.
There is also a place to boil water in the living room, but 1551 was worried that the loud noise would attract other people, as there were also live-in nannies, housekeepers, and others on the first floor of the ancestral home.
If there is some noise in the kitchen, it won't be noticed.
The system doesn't require drinking water, so 1551 seems a bit clumsy.
I took out a pot to boil water, and when I poured the water into the cup, I almost scalded myself.
1551 didn't care. Seeing that the cold medicine that had been placed in the cup in advance did not fly away, the dimples on both sides of his cheeks appeared faintly.
It's very easy to feel a sense of accomplishment.
After spending quite a while, a cup of black cold medicine was finally prepared.
1551 immediately took it and went upstairs.
He was so nervous when he left just now that he naturally didn't notice that less than two seconds after he left the room, the man who should have been sleeping soundly on the bed slowly opened his eyes.
His deep black eyes stared at the gently closed door, and there were waves in his eyes.
The man closed his eyes again when he heard footsteps.
I heard the sound of the door being pushed again.
Something was placed beside the bed, and there was a rustling sound as the tip of a pen scratched against paper.
After a while, the sound of writing disappeared, replaced by the sound of 1551 breathing a sigh of relief.
Having accomplished what he had always wanted to do, 1551 became visibly happy, and his dimples suddenly brightened up.
The timing was just right. After he completed this series of things, the countdown cleared and returned to zero. The white light flashed again, and the connection channel between the two worlds was opened.
1551, who was forced to be deported, did not notice that the man behind him, who should have closed his eyes, had opened his deep and bottomless eyes at some point, his eyes were clear without a trace of sleepiness in them.
Gu Chenzhou only saw the young man's slender back, and he left his world in an instant.
